Environmental Policy

Beaulieu River is a designated Site of Special Scientific Interest and is committed to minimising the impact of its activities on the environment.

This policy statement sets out how we are working towards achieving our environmental objectives.

Meet the environmental legislation that relates to the operation of the marina and associated activities, and where possible identify opportunities to adopt best practice over and above the minimum legislative requirements.

We will take environmental credentials of our suppliers into account when procuring new products. By doing so we wish to get other organisations to integrate sustainability into their operations to gain contracts.

Continue to liaise with the Royal Yachting Association and the British Marine Federation’s environmental initiative; The Green Blue, to ensure we stay up to date with how we can reduce any negative impacts associated with our operations.

Encourage berth holders to adopt environmental best practice and supply The Green Blue information upon request.

Maintain close liaisons and working links with the New Forest National Park Authority, Natural England and the Environment Agency and maintain memberships of the Solent European Marine Site (SEMS) Management Group. Contribute to the annual reporting process.

Ensure that any new development is assessed for environmental impact in accordance with prevailing regulations and licencing requirements.
